The Great Artesian Spa will share with you a secret locals have known for years: a soak in our mineralized artesian waters is relaxing for the body and therapeutic for the soul.
Across the world and throughout the ages people have traveled great distances to seek natural mineral waters. Whole communities have grown and prospered by tapping into these healthy natural springs and spas. Here in Mitchell we have recognized the value of our own mineral water from the Great Artesian Basin and have created a unique experience - The Great Artesian Spa.
The Great Artesian Spa comprises two large pools of artesian water. The spa has been designed for easy access, which includes a hydro chair for those who have restricted mobility.
One of the pools has naturally heated waters from the Great Artesian Basin which is maintained at a comfortable temperature designed to relax tired muscles, ease tension and revitalize both body and mind. The other pool is designed for those who prefer a cooler experience.

The Great Artesian Spa is a fantastic destination for relaxation, featuring two contrasting pools that offer an unforgettable experience. With a hot pool temperature of approximately 39°C and a cooler pool around 20°C, guests can enjoy the rejuvenating benefits of alternating between the two. The spa is not only about the waters; it boasts a welcoming atmosphere created by friendly and helpful staff dedicated to providing excellent customer service.
Visitors have praised the cleanliness of the facilities, including ample changing rooms and well-maintained amenities. The on-site café serves delicious food and great coffee, making it a perfect stop for both a hearty meal and a soothing dip. Customers consistently recommend the spa for its reasonable prices, with entry fees and menu items offering great value.
While many enjoy their visits, some guests have expressed concerns regarding the chlorine levels in the water, which are necessary for health standards. Additionally, occasional issues with water temperatures have been noted, but the staff are committed to resolving these to ensure a quality experience. Overall, the Great Artesian Spa is highly recommended for anyone traveling through the area, offering a delightful escape and a chance to unwind in a beautifully maintained setting.

Hi Lindy, We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your Eggs Benedict, although I am not certain the 1 star review reflects your positive comment. I'm sure this is a mistake! Thanks for stopping in and we look forward to seeing you again!
Positive experience: Pity the hot pool wasn't very hot. Otherwise very good
Hey Leigh, thanks for the great review. We strive to give our visitors a great experience and are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us. The sub zero temperatures have played unfortunately played havoc with our heaters causing them to freeze overnight with a consequential drop in pool temperature which takes us most of the day to recover. We are in discussions with the owner of the facility in search of a workaround for this problem as it tends to plague us from time to time when the weather graces us with those cold temperatures.
Fantastic experience: Did not disappoint, 39 degrees and just delightful! $10 will get adult entry for a day. Cafe on site. Good facilities for showers (was $3 just for visit to shower, no pool access). Staff were lovely!
Hey Sonia, thanks so much for reviewing us so favourably. We strive to deliver excellence in safety, service and of course, customers experience. Getting great feedback always makes our efforts more worthwhile.

Positive reviews always encourage us to never to lose sight of those goals and to strive even harder. So glad to hear you guys had a great time as its always a pleasure to have you in Mitchell.
Negative experience: Having visited this spa last year and enjoyed my visit, I went again today. What a disappointment. Why? The so-called artesian spa which would normally be healthy minerals was over chlorinated. So much so that my skin still smells of chlorine even after a shower at the facility. Don't kid yourself. Warm it may be but a mineral spa? I think not with all that chlorine.
Hey Toni, we were so sorry to hear of your recent unpleasant experience at the Great Artesian Spa. Obviously, we strive to ensure that all our visitors have the absolute best experience but very occasionally we will have something go wrong and we truly appreciate feedback and comments which alert us to potential problems. We are required by State Health Legislation to keep a (small) level of chlorine in our pools to ensure that there is no possibility of the presence of water borne pathogens. Normally, this is undetectable however, recently, a malfunction in our automated dosing system occasioned a temporary brief rise in free chlorine levels resulting in the chlorine smell you experienced. While the levels were still within safe operating guidelines (we carry out water tests 5 times daily at a minimum) it certainly did diminish the amenity of the spas while we rectified the problem and brought the levels back to the target range. We have since been monitoring the levels closely to avoid any repeat of the problem. Fortunately, the mineral content of the great artesian water remains basically stable in any case.
Fantastic experience: Great relaxing SPA, great Coffee and foods, perfect for somme relaxing therapy and resetting your aging body so you can live a longer pain free life!!!

Fantastic experience: So relaxing, we spent 4 days in Mitchell and visited the spa every day. You can buy multi day passes which was great, hot pool was approx 40 degrees, the cold pool approx 20 degrees, jumping between them is refreshing, but takes your breath away. A must for any traveller. Super friendly staff too.

Fantastic experience: An amazing place! There are only two pools, one with hot water and the other with cold water, but it's perfect for relaxation, especially when you're on the road. The staff is friendly, the facilities are well-maintained, and the food is delicious at a reasonable price. It's a relaxing experience in a beautiful location. Definitely worth making a stop in this town.

Fantastic experience: The pools were fantastic, staff were friendly and helpful, the food was super nice (classic bacon and eggs), coffee was ok (made well but it’s merlo so it’s great if you like merlo). And the patrons were also very friendly. All round great experience and glad we came out (we came out just to come here). Thanks to the Feelgood Family’s YouTube channel for suggesting it.

Hey Carol, thanks so much for reviewing us so favourably. We strive to deliver excellence in safety, service and of course, customers experience. Getting great feedback always makes our efforts more worthwhile.
Fantastic experience: Passed through here when driving back to Brisbane from Charleville and it was amazing. Highly recommend after sitting in the hot pool for 10-15mins go straight into the cold pool. It'll feel freezing at first but it eventually feels great and your body feels amazing afterward. The day we went the hot pool was 38-39 degrees and the cold was 16-17 degrees. This place was definitely worth the stop.
Positive experience: Lovely place for a relaxing dip when travelling
Positive experience: Really great ,popular, roast dinner was beautiful
Thanks for the great review Terence. So pleased you found your visit to the Great Artesian Spa truly enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous I took my Dad here as he loves the hot mineral spas at Moree. The hot pool was around 39 degrees Celsius. Standing under the hot water pouring into the pool was like a hot massage ♀️. The cold pool is only 16 degrees Celsius. Our first visit I could only stay in for 10 minutes... before needing a break and a drink. There is a horn that sounds every 15 minutes to have remind us to take a break. The next day, I could easily do 15 minutes before needing a break. We stayed for about an hour each visit. I wish there were more artesian spas located around Queensland. Would highly recommend visiting. A nice Cafe, clean, bathrooms big and clean and also serves as the information centre.
Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review. We are pleased to hear that you and your Dad enjoyed your time with us at the Great Artesian Spa and we hope you can visit us again soon!
Positive experience: Great place to free camp at weir and the pool is 39 good to unwind and relax for a couple of days
Hey John, thanks for taking the time to post us a great review. We strive to provide an amazing visitor experience and it is always great when we receive feedback.

Hey Katie, thanks for taking the time to post us a great review. We strive to provide an amazing visitor experience and it is always truly rewarding when we receive such positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: Clean, plentiful hotwater in well equipped surrounds...pity about chlorine but still well worth a dip
Hey Mark, thanks so much for reviewing us so favourably. We strive to deliver excellence in safety, service and of course, customers experience. It is indeed unfortunate that State Health requirements require us to sanitize with chlorine however, ensuring the safety of our visitors is a priority. We are investigating alternative forms of sanitization to meet this need. Regardless getting great feedback always makes our efforts more worthwhile.
Fantastic experience: A great little place with fantastic service and a good stop for food and coffee
Fantastic experience: Absolutely a must do if going through Mitchell, highly recommend
Hey Tanya, thanks for the great review. We strive to give our visitors a great experience and are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us.

Hey Harry, Thanks so much for that great review. We strive really hard to ensure everyone who visits has a great experience and it is always rewarding to hear from visitors who have truly enjoyed their time with us.
Negative experience: This is a small facility with one small heated pool and one cool pool. Neither are very large. The Artesian water is pumped from another area and heated here. $10.00 entry per person to sit in a crowed pool, that feels artificial is not for me.
Thanks for your feedback BBL. We were dissapointed that your visit to the Great Artesian Spa did not fulfill your expectations. As a Not For Profit community organisation we operate the Spa to attract visitors to Mitchell to stimulate the local economy. Our pricing is reflective of the cost of operating the facility to the highest standards of safety and customer service. These are really only break even prices but they do enable us to provide employment for 10 people in a small rural town which has been battered by local government amalgamation and years of drought.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place!! The water was 40 degrees! Great cafe and it is also the Information Centre!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing place this is. We stopped here after spending four days trekking at Carnarvon Gorge. It was lovely to be able to relax, rest the body and enjoy the warm mineral rich waters of of the Great Artesian Spa for an hour or so before heading off again. They also serve a great range of food and coffee.
Fantastic experience: If there was a 6 star rating I would give them that just for George the resident cat!! Lovely artesian spa with a cafe on site, very clean, stunning garden and seating area. A truly magical find when travelling through town.
Hey Suzy, George sure is a crowd favourite! Thanks so much for reviewing us so favourably. We strive to deliver excellence in safety, service and of course, customers experience. Getting great feedback always makes our efforts more worthwhile.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Artesian pool, great cafe very reasonably priced. Toilets & showers very clean
Fantastic experience: The hot pool was about 39°, cool pool 21°. The staff were lovely and the facilities were very clean.
Fantastic experience: These places are brilliant loved them we will be back
Positive experience: A relaxing visit but 40 degrees was too hot for me Better to take your own drinking water Amenities were okay.
Fantastic experience: The staff are always super friendly and accommodating. They all need a payrise to reflect the efforts they put in. The spas themselves are great, and relatively children friendly. Good food and merchandise options too.
Hey Daniel, Thanks for those kind and encouraging words. Everyone at the Spa really strives to achieve those outcomes and consequently find it very rewarding to hear from customers who have absolutely enjoyed the experience.
Positive experience: Great meals, value for money. Small pools, but absolutely wonderful on the body

Fantastic experience: Good food and great service, would go again
Negative experience: Staff were friendly , but we left without eating .. and went back to Roma and ate a decent feed . The menu on offer is just too new age and way out ..
Fantastic experience: Wonderful detour on our way to Carnarvon Gorge. Friendly staff. Onsite coffee & light meals. Spacious & tidy change rooms / toilets. Water was a lovely warm temperature on a cool morning. Weatherboard building also houses info centre. Entry fee $8 for spa. Quirky bespoke furniture made from old machinery etc was marvellous.
Hey Tracey, thanks for reviewing the Great Artesian Spa so favourably. Our mission is to provide our visitors with the best possible experience and everyone feels truly rewarded for their efforts when we get such great feedback.
Fantastic experience: 2nd visit here. So relaxing. Hot pool.Cold pool. Coffee shop and Tourist memorabilia. Will return. Lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: We love this place - friendly staff, showers, hot spa, cool pool, coffee & goodies, plus icecreams. They are brilliant being open all day plus Golden Oldies concessions ! Jenny & Bruce - Kiwis
Hey Jenny. Thanks for those kind and encouraging words. Everyone at the Spa really strives to achieve those outcomes and consequently find it very rewarding to hear from customers who have absolutely enjoyed the experience..

Hey Claeton, thanks for the great review. We strive to give our visitors a great experience and are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us.
Fantastic experience: Such a relaxing experience. Entry fee is minimal. The place has both hot and normal temperature pools. Food is great too. They have an after shower place as well. You can also grab a towel from their shop in case you have an unplanned trip to the artisan spa! Worth every penny. I have visited this place 2 times in a year!
Fantastic experience: What an unexpected gem this place is. Beautiful pools both hot and cool. Great coffee and food in a lovely setting. If you're travelling through its well worth a stop.
Hey LT, thanks for the great review. We strive to provide excellence in product, safety and customer service as the success of the Great Artesian Spa is essential to the local economy. It is therefore always reassuring to receive positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: Sooooo relaxing & verrry warm... spent 2-3 hrs there and loved every minute!
Fantastic experience: Wow! Was going for an hour which ended up being 5 hours. Loveliest staff, very very nice and inexpensive menu. The pools are incredible. I went from hot to cold pools... so good!
Positive experience: The staff were all so friendly and helpful, even stashing our meat from the butcher in the fridge during our stay. Yes the water took a while to come up to temp, and it'd be great if there were some spa jets around the seated areas in the hot pool, but in all it was lovely. Special mention must be made of the cafe. Absolutely delicious food at very reasonable prices, and that's how they get the crowds in. We don't often attend cafes as they are generally overpriced for what you get, but this was the exception. Thank you ladies, you all did a great job!
Hey Donna, thanks for the great review. We strive to provide excellence in product, safety and customer service as the success of the Great Artesian Spa is essential to the local economy. It is therefore always reassuring to receive positive feedback.

Hey Kerryn, thanks so much for reviewing us so favourably. We strive to deliver excellence in safety, service and of course, customers experience. Getting great feedback always makes our efforts more worthwhile.
Positive experience: Mitchell is a great town, the "natural Artesian spa" unfortunately is excessively chlorinated so not so natural, Definitely nice and warm though.
Hey Scouse, thanks for taking the time to post us a great review. The chlorine you speak of is unfortunately a requirement of Queensland Health and we are obliged to maintain pre-determined levels for sanitization (and of course the well being of our visitors). The advent of Covid 19 has brought particular emphasis to ensuring we maintain that level at all times. Your comments are however appreciated and understood.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous place lovely pool although problems with water temperature at the moment. Still lovely, just a bit cold at the moment. Went to Wednesday night roast and desert. What a good value was served on time. What lovely staff. 6 veges plus roast lamb with gravy and Mint sauce. Pavlova and Berry composite plus small amount of cream. Keep up the great work
Hey Diana, thanks so much for reviewing us so favourably. We strive to deliver excellence in safety, service and of course, customers experience. Getting great feedback always makes our efforts more worthwhile.
Fantastic experience: Lovely heated pool. Nice surrounds, tables, grass, cafe with very good coffee and simple meals. Very well done.
Hey Terry. Thanks for those kind and encouraging words. Everyone at the Spa really strives to achieve those outcomes and consequently find it very rewarding to hear from customers who have absolutely enjoyed the experience..
Fantastic experience: A top spot to unwind after a 7 hour drive. Place is clean and well maintained. Come here for the eggs Benedict brekkie on a Sunday!
Hey Bonnie, thanks for the great review. We strive to give our visitors a great experience and are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us.
Fantastic experience: Great menu, great food presentation, great staff, great coffee. Great Artesian Spa - the name is no accident. If you don't intend to stop Mitchell then do yourself a favour and break your journey here.
Fantastic experience: Was so great. Water hot. Meals were home made and reasonable priced. Great coffee and service.
Fantastic experience: I loved this place, a lovely stop on our travels. We left roma on our way to Charleville and stopped off after told about this place by a neighbour. The pools were lovely, plenty of changing room area and the Cafe was great! Delicious coffee and great value food menu, I had the Thai fish cakes which were lovely, husband a toasted sandwich and kids banana bread and pikelets. All delicious and i can't believe how cheap! Lovely vibes and friendly staff!! Worth popping in if your passing by.
Hey Jennifer, thanks for posting us such a great review. Everyone at the Spa strives to provide our visitors with a great experience and consequently, positive feedback is always very rewarding especially when times are a bit challenging,
Positive experience: Water wasn't as hot as usual, the flow out the tunnel was hot, were told there is an issue, positive note only half price, then enjoyed a very hot shower inside toilets as well
Hey Liz, thank you for posting us such a great review given our water problems. The loss of water temperature has been caused by record low water consumption in Mitchell as a result of the unseasonally cold and wet winter thus far. This has meant that the hot bores, which are our primary heat source, are only operating spasmodically to keep up with demand allowing the reticulation system to cool off in the downtime. Compounding that, the extended run of sub-zero temperatures has caused our supplementary heaters to fail during the night hours once again causing a significant loss of water temperature. It has been quite devastating for our staff who work tirelessly to provide everyone with a great experience. No doubt it is even worse for our loyal customers who have driven great distances to enjoy the Spa only to find the water being so much cooler than usual. Fortunately, Maranoa Regional Council has expedited the installation of additional supplementary heating which is being fitted as I write. Spa staff are also working on ways to prevent the overnight failure of the existing heaters so, we expect to be back to offering lovely hot water very soon.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful pool well mainted water only 33deg today bur half price and great.Very nice hot showers.
Hey Glenice, thanks for the great review. While I know the staff would have explained the cool water at the moment, with your indulgence I would like to add some up to date information.

Fantastic experience: It closes at 6pm in winter, 7pm in summer. We were too late for it this time. Though, I've enjoyed it in past trips and highly recommend it.
Positive experience: Great spa pool, be warned the dunk pool was bracing but a must. Don't miss the coffee, best in town!
Fantastic experience: Great visit again, we always stop over when we are traveling west.
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming place. Free exercise class was on. Water is beautiful temperature. Very enjoyable experience.
Fantastic experience: It really was a relaxing time in the warmer spa. Had to keep resetting timer every 15 mins.
Positive experience: Terrific facility let down by the fact that the spa was simply not hot due I am told by a sudden overnight drop in ambient temoerature which did not allow the pool to rise to its normal heat during the day. This did not help us as we had travelled from Roma and were very disappointed. Food, cleanliness and staff all 1st class.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place, the staff are all absolutely lovely and friendly, the spa is Devine and the food is so reasonably priced and delicious.
Fantastic experience: Great food, lovely people and an excellent museum close by.
Fantastic experience: Great staff great place lovely and clean warm water fantastic
